How happy the people that is in such a case! How happy the people that hath Yahweh for its God!

And, the might of thy terrible acts, shall men speak, and, as for thy greatness, I will recount it.

The eyes of all, for thee, do wait, and, thou, givest them their food in its season.

Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;

Praise ye Yah, For it is good, to make melody to our GOD, - For it is delightful, seemly is praise!

Who covereth the heavens with clouds, preparing rain for the earth, who causeth the mountains to sprout grass:

Yahweh, hath pleasure, in them who revere him, in them who wait for his lovingkindness.

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy children in thy midst:

Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;

Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.

Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel - a people near him, Praise ye Yah!

For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

Praise him, for his mighty deeds, Praise him, according to his exceeding greatness:

For the knowledge of wisdom and correction, for discerning the sayings of intelligence;

For receiving the correction of prudence, righteousness and justice, and equity;

For giving To the simple shrewdness, To the young man, knowledge and discretion.

For, a wreath of beauty, shall they be to thy head, and chains of ornament, to thy neck.

If they say - Come with us, - Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us watch in secret for him who is needlessly innocent;

Thy lot, shalt thou cast into our midst, One purse, shall there be, for us all.

For, their feet, to mischief, do run, and haste to the shedding of blood.
